Did you download the portable version of the browser and did you extract it before running it?

EDIT: Try reinstalling Polarity now.

360 ts ( bitdefender engine ) flaggs the inststaller as a trojan. False positive? Or has it something to do with the built in wot extension in polarity?

I tried Polarity briefly and i have a few questions.
Do i have to install Flash? I tried to watch some live streaming matches but i couldn't.
Can i remove some features from the address bar such as Voice command?
Can i use another adblocker instead of Adblock Lite or Adblocker Total?
Should i have a VPN installed so Privoxy can work better or it isn't necessary?
Do i need a pdf viewer or Polarity has built in one like Chrome?
Does it have a 64 bit version?

Some observations i made after using it for a while.
It loads pages fast almost like Cent.
It's lite on system resources.
It has a lot of settings to play with.

After someone answers my questions i will give you more feedback;).

Installed latest version of polarity and it crashes alot.
Wont run with more that 3-4 tabs and it doesnt use much resources but will crash after some time.
After 10-15 crashes i got an error saying install visual c++2013 and I did install both x86 and x64.
Same issue persists reintalled both c++ and polarity twice deleted all residual files still same.
Strangely portable version doesnt work tell me install to visual c++ 2013 and redirects to official page to download and install it from and I did so.
Still doesnt work please do help me Im in love with the features packed with it. I have transformed firefox to match its features right.


PS- I have windows 10 x64bit maching 4gb ram 10gb atleast free space on the drive and use Eset Smart Security.
